BUSINESS MISSION STATEMENT

Business Mission Statement

Tasty  is a brand that people can trust. We simply seek to give customers a high quality product with the highest quality of ingredients. We don’t seek to force a product on people.” Instead the mission should focus on customers and the customer experience the company seeks to create.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg.40) Thats exactly what our brand is all about we are creating an experience that goes far beyond our product we create. “Too often, mission statements are written for public relations purposes and lack specific, workable guidelines.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg.41) Which is why at Tastys our mission is meant to be simple and clear. Tasty trail mix simply put pure ingredients. AtTatsys quality and customer experience is our one an only mission. We are a customer oriented company not a product oriented company. 

TARGET MARKETING STRATEGY

 
"Marketing implementation the process that turns marketing strategies and plans into marketing actions in order to accomplish strategic marketing objectives." (Armstrong & Kotler , Marketing : An Introduction , pg 57 This is the make or break part of tatstys Chilean trail mix . Simply put you can have the greatest marketing strategy in the world  but  it all comes down to how you implement it that depends on it being successful or not . The Tasty will do this by constantly meeting with all departments to make sure we are all on the same page working towards the same goal. It starts with the CEO and goes all the way down to the distribution to even the stores we are being carried in . This is the part of the business in which team work is vital to our success of tasty's trail mix . 
   

PROMOTION

   Promotion is a huge element of getting a brand out there. As defined,”Promotion means activities that communicate the merits of the product and persuade target customers to buy it.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53) A lot of this will be done through the use of social media. It is so huge now a days that we will blanket our brand across all online platforms to get the name out there to consumers. We also hope to prove to our consumers that we have a quality brand so that they will spread through word of mouth this can be a huge part of promotion also. ”Some critics think that the four Ps may omit or underemphasize certain important activities.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) The four P’s covers a large business aspect of Tastys trail mixx

PRICE

It has been said that, “An effective marketing program blends all of the marketing mix elements into an integrated marketing program designed to achieve the company’s marketing objectives by delivering value to consumers.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) We consider that to be very true for our brand and another very important aspect of this is price. “Price is the amount of money customers must pay to obtain the product.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53)Tastys trail mix will be a very good price point and will offer a bigger serving size than other competitors at our price point as well as being a high quality product. the normal size for that price point will definitely stand out against the competition. 

PRODUCT

Product

“Product means the goods-and-services combination the company offers to the target market.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53) As Tastys trail mix  the only product we offer is simply trail mix . We would eventually expand into more products such as other related snack products like flavored chips and candy , etc. But for now it is essential to build a strong brand and following before expanding. It can cause a brand major problems to expand too quickly. “It holds that the four Ps concept takes the seller’s view of the market, not the buyer’s view.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) This is something we as a brand plan to embody to further expand our brand and to make this be known as a quality brand to our consumers. 

DISTURBUTION

   Distribution or “Place” is a huge part of getting this Tastys brand out there. “Place includes company activities that make the product available to target consumers.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 53) For Tatsys I think we would strictly keep this to just chile and Las Vegas. I think these are definitely two markets that would be a good starting point and we have roots in both places. Las Vegas is already huge in the food industry so it would be a good place to start out here. I definitely think we would be held In grocery stores such as Smiths  and be carried in many gas stations. Since we are in Vegas we could use the food scene to our advantage and get them to use some of our products even if we have to give it to them for free to start.”The issue is not whether there should be four, six, or ten Ps so much as what framework is most helpful in designing integrated marketing programs.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg.54) When identifying these 4 P’s we have covered all our bases for Tatsys trail mix to get it off the ground. Each plays an important role such as distribution. 

IMPLEMENTATIUON EVALUATION CONTROL

   “Marketing implementation the process that turns marketing strategies and plans into marketing actions in order to accomplish strategic marketing objectives.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 57) This is the make or break part for Tatsys.Simply put you can have the greatest marketing strategy in the world but it all comes down to how you implement it that depends on it being successful or not. “In an increasingly connected world, people at all levels of the marketing system must work together to implement marketing strategies and plans.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 57) TheTastys brand will do this by constantly meeting with all departments to make sure we are all on the same page working towards the same goal. It starts with the CEO and goes all the way down to the distributors to even the stores we are being carried in. This is the part of the business in which team work is vital to our success and Tasty will work to make sure daily we are all on the same page. 

SWOT ANALYSIS

“Managing the marketing function begins with a complete analysis of the company’s situation.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) At Tastys we know this is an important part of building a successful brand. For us we feel the strengths of our company are the fact that we are made in the U.S. and are a small brand that doesn't manufacture tons of products. However at the same time the size of our company could prove to be a weakness later on down the road in terms of manufacture pricing and distribution. These are only internal factors there are also external factors such as: “Opportunities are favorable factors or trends in the external environment that the company may be able to exploit to its advantage.” ( Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 54) I think this is very favorable for our company because the trend now a days is most people just want value. A quality product they can get and not have to break the bank which is what Tasty does. The threats to our company are definitely just the other competitors with a price point close to ours. It’s hard to stand out on a shelf next to so many other choices. 

OBLECTIVES

An objective is defined as dealing with facts without allowing personal feelings to confuse them. “The company needs to turn its mission into detailed supporting objectives for each level of management.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 40)  Tastys mission is simple and so our objectives should be too. From a business standpoint it’s easy to say we have to set sales objectives but to our brand it’s more than just having sales. Instead our objective is simply to create a brand people stand by and trust. A brand made in America that people can be proud to buy. “These goals then become the company’s current marketing objectives.” (Armstrong & Kotler, Marketing: An Introduction, Pg. 42) This all ties to the fact that at Tastysa our objectives can’t be put into terms of money because we don’t seek to make tons of profits as our main objective. Our objective is to be a a reliable brand to people. 

WEEK 8 EOC THE ADVENTURE

Chilean trail mix is made with only the finest ingredients. A blend of mainly the finest natural product of Chile infused with an American twist.

The Ancient history ,of explores ,pioneers, and hunters are alike me who founded trail mix. We used various foods that were found around the country such as :nuts, dried fruits berries and candy . We came up with this sensation and became  professionals at making easy to take on trips high-energy snacks that could handle any weather, that you didn't have to cook.

The key to a successful trail mix is to vary flavors, including both sweet and salty, as well as textures, including both crunchy and soft. Here in Chile it started with  me being a pioneer as I was on my journey I came across these nuts which were later determined to be peanuts and cashews. as I continued my journey I came across some settlers or were intrigue with my findings and wanted to take them for themselves , but I wasn't having it so I picked up my musket and went along my way .Later on I cam across and exotic looking plant which was a pineapple very sweet refreshing fruit so I chopped it into little pieces and continued on my journey as I let the fruit dry it became harden and still packed a sweet flavorful punch

week 6 EOC ME X 3

VERSACE COLOGNE
this is my favorite cologne . It was giving to me  as  a gift and it has a fantastic smell that smells like no other to me .I like the smell that this cologne carries once it has set on the skin . Very smooth crispy clean smell that it has .  I continually get asked what am I  wearing by different woman . I don't tell them though because I don't want them to go buy it for there man I want to keep my little secret to myself. Not trying to be selfish ,I just want to be different .  Overall all in my opinion this is one of the best smelling colognes out.


Jergens  Shea butter lotion
I really like this lotion on my skin . it leaves my skin feeling flawless without the excessiveness of drying out the skin leaving cracks or dead skin. I love the fact the it doesn't have a watery feeling to it. I like how it  seeps right into your pores and really gets into the dry spot of your4 skin and brings out the sheeer sheek feeling . I leaves your skin feeling hydrated  flawless again .


Listerine

 This right here can help and save a lot of people. lol  This I like to use several times a day. It gives you that clean feeling of having your mouth feel clean .I can be a friend to someone who has halitosis. I can help prevent gum disease and gingivitis. Also it can help people with bad breath as well .  Me personally I feel that after  you brush your teeth  and you use3 Listerine that overall your mouth is really cleaner .

Week 5 EOC: Social Networks and Job Hunting

Consumer buyer behavior

The buying behavior of final consumers—individuals and households that buy goods and services for personal consumption.

Consumer market All the individuals and households that buy or acquire goods and services for personal consumption

Culture is the most basic cause of a person’s wants and behavior. Human behavior is largely learned.

 

I feel that what Facebook is doing is interesting .Making a different way that recruiters search for new candidates that they like for new job positions. It goes to show you that with technology growth that they way things happen are advancing  right along side with it. I think that it is neat Facebook is using a job-recruitment tool to find new candidates . with that being done some recruiters while eliminate their time spending on job boards and while other social media outlets such as LinkedIn have a more comprehensive resume database.  I that with time evolving that Marketers are always trying to spot cultural shifts in order to discover new products that might be wanted.  I feel that culture behavior is a big part on how these companies try to market themselves so that different cultures  can adapt to them . All  the different strategies are all based on consumer  buyer behavior .

 

 

 

   

Eoc 4

                      New app I would come up with a breathalyzer app for all the people that love to drink.  When one feels intoxicated one can blow into there phone port and determine the level of intoxication that they are. I feel that this app would be very useful for our drinking friends. I fell that if this app was invented it could help a lot of people not get stopped by the  police and get a dui and end up in jail.  I also believe that it would help to prevent a lot of car accidents that are caused by drunk diving .Which drunk diving is one of the most caused leading  accidents in Las Vegas .Also it would lower the number of fatalities caused by the accidents .  I feel that if this app was invented  it  would be a great and helpful way to prevent careless deaths that occur rapidly here in Las Vegas and also nation wide . I feel that this would change the views on people that are  highly intoxicated and would make them possibly think twice before getting behind a vehicle. This would save a lot of life's and tax payers dollars.

Eoc my demographics

Millennials The 83 million children of the baby boomers,



 Millennials. Both the baby boomers and Gen Xers will one day be passing the reins to the Millennials (also called Generation Y or the echo boomers). Born between 1977 and 2000, these children of the baby boomers number 83 million, dwarfing the Gen Xers and larger even than the baby boomer segment. This group includes several age cohorts: tweens (aged 9–12), teens (13–18), and young adults (19–32). With total purchasing power of more than $733 billion, the Millennials make up a huge and attractive market.


 I feel as being from the Millennials era that  we have advanced tremendously .Also with are growth technology has grown along with it . I feel that everyone person from this era has adapted to technology so much that eventually it will over take us . Most people now and days are always on their cell phone and live of them . Technology has advanced so much that you can practically do every and anything off of your phone . People have cr4eated movies solely using their iPhone or android phone because the mega pixel on the cameras have evolved tremendously.  Rather then other older generations that are still stuck in their way of land lines. I feel that eventually technology will overcome and outtake humans in all .  In different counties they are developing robotic technology that will replace humans ..

   I believe Microsoft Xbox One Marketing is great in my opinion it has had 14 years of gaming dominance. For the past fourteen years ,GMR has been a  trusted partner of   Microsoft . They have supported Xbox One at every major point in their rise to the top of the global entertainment landscape. From Xbox Odyssey in 2001 to Xbox Kinect ,and Xbox live . Now for the new generation the much anticipated launch of Xbox One . They have built a global fleet of decked out suvs that tour special events ,retail locations and NFL games across the US ,UK and leading up to an Xbox gaming spectacle at the 2014 Super Bowl.

While Microsoft is touting the Xbox One as a mass-market device essential for any living room, Sony is more narrowly focused on gamers with the PS4. Gamers a typically irascible group  have lovingly embraced the PS4 in response.Whether intentional or not, all the PS4 features announced at the press conference undercut whatever level of buzz Microsoft had generated among gamers    with its Xbox One unveil. Not only will PS4 ($399) cost $100 less than Xbox One ($499), it will not impose any restrictions on game sharing or require any amount of Internet connectivity like the Xbox One does.

Nintendo's  biggest Wii U marketing mistakes
The Wii U has had a slow start, with weak sales and a lack of consumer awareness. Some might argue that the problem is the Wii U itself, but the truth is, even if one believes the Wii U is not the “best” console, consumers aren’t logical entities that create detailed lists of specs and features and then make the “best” choice. Consumers get something because they want it, and sales is the art of making consumers believe they really need something. The problem with the Wii U is not, as some people insist, because the name is stupid or because the console is underpowered; it’s because Nintendo has done a terrible sales job

Failing To Learn From the 3Ds

Bad Advertisements

Fumbled Third Party Support

Not Enough Ads

Too Much Reliance on Word of Mouth

Failing to Show Why Consumers Need the Wii U

Too Few Nintendo Games
